Spotify’s stock price has been on a promising upswing, with analysts setting ambitious targets as shares edge near $400. The last time SPOT approached this mark was in early 2021, fueled by high-profile content deals, but concerns over profitability and market pressures pulled it down to the $70s in 2022.

Analysts are optimistic, with targets ranging up to $490 from firms like Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank, driven by projected subscriber growth, podcasting, and ad revenue.
